Byrd and Matt are joined by Trev (Days of Future Podcast/Failure to Franchise) to take a deep dive into Starship Troopers, a Western series with many ties to Japanese sci-fi. We discuss the original novel, the 1980s anime mini-series, the three live action films, and the two recent Japanese-American animated sequels. We will examine the novel's influence on Japanese science fiction, how the subtext of Paul Verhoeven's film differs from the novel, our favorite giant bugs, and just how the franchise stacks up as a whole.
